Helen McMahon remembers how things were and has made drawings of early Woodinville that have resulted in a popular coloring book. The book in turn served as the inspiration for a special Coloring Book Quilt.

“The Woodinville area has a colorful past and a promising future. I have put together some drawings to help tell this story,” explained McMahon.

Special thanks to:

Julie Forrest who helped take on the quilt project and see it through to completion.

Pam Seaberg made the four corner batik flowers. Pam is a rising star with two Hoffman Challenge quilts.
